More info: Varanasi (Sanskrit: वाराणसी Vārāṇasī, ), also commonly known as Benares or Banaras and Kashi , is a city situated on the banks of the River Ganges in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is regarded as a holy city by Buddhists and Jains, and is the holiest place in the world in Hinduism (and center of earth in Hindu Cosmology). It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and probably the oldest of India.
